Appendix A - DMX Dip Switch Value Guide
DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on MOC products are set by flipping appropriate DMX dip Switches. To do this, you need to know that DMX dip switches have the following values: #1 =1; #2=2; #3=4: #4=8; #5=1; #6=32; #7=64; #8=128; #9=256. And you need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values. For example, standard DMX addresses for four MOC changer , each of which has four channels , Follow: MOC Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4 Address Value DMX Dip Switches "ON" #1 #2 #1,#2 #3

Explanation: Since each unit has four channels, each address advances four values (See Address Value above). Once address values are figured out, add DMX dip switch values to obtain the appropriate address (DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit.
The lamp for MOC differs from that of MOC-150, beides this all other features between are the same. In this manual, all features description of MOC alos applies to MOC-150.

Set Up and Operation

The set up and operation of all Mojo Color color changers is similar. The main difference is that function channels of various items vary, so that dip switch settings differ slightly. Follow directions below as they pertain to your particular product and your preferred operation mode. Before plugging unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

One-unit Audio

(1) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C- clamp fastened onto the Mojo Color bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air circulation. (2) Flip "on" Func. dip switch and dip switch #1. (3) Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit. (See figure 6, page 12.) Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket. (4) Turn on the music. The scanner will change to the music.
Applies only when audio mode (Func. dip switch "on") is activated. Otherwise, these channels are DMX address setting dip switches.

DMX Control
1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger CTM clamp bolted onto the Mojo Color bracket). Leave at least one meter on all sides for air circulation. 2. Link the units as shown in Figure 5. Plug a DMX signal cable from the controller to the first unit's DMX "in" socket. Then plug a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link following units. 3. Set DMX dip switches as follows. MOC Dip ON Unit 1 #1 Unit 2 #2 Unit 3 #1,#2 Unit 4 #3 For more units, continue to use standard DMX dip switch settings. See Appendix A for details. 4. On the last in a series of units, flip "on" the Terminate dip switch (Term. dip switch ). This keeps the signal clear. Make sure other function dip switches are "off". 5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket (see figure 6), then plug the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets. Do so for all units and the controller. 5 6
